| ====Origin/meaning====
| |
| The arms of Bocholt were granted on March 6, 1930.
| |
|
| |
| Bocholt got city rights in 1222 from the Bishop of Münster. The oldest known seal dates from the same time and shows, just as all later seals, a beech as canting symbol (beech = Buche). The arms have thus basically not changed ever since, although the size and shape of the tree have changed considerably in style during the centuries. The only exception is a 17<sup>th</sup> century seal that shows the tree with a bar. This bar is taken from the arms of <a href=m/munster2|Münster]], as Bocholt at the time was part of the State of Münster. The colours have been used for centuries, their original meaning is not known. | |
